The first video introduction to Wengui was suspect from the beginning (the long form interview in the airport hangar - high production value - CCP BGY explanation limited hangout?). I remember following GNews.org during the initial drops of Hunter content. It was a disjointed rollout, with radioactive material, therefore largely shielded from any artistic input from team CCP because no one touched it, and Garrett's Marco Polo was a long ways out at that time. I tend to believe Bannon allowed himself to be wooed by Wengui, arrested on the yacht, etc. Even the cheesy "take down the CCP" song. I'm not a follower of Bannon's and don't have my finger on the pulse of that situation, but from afar, I still like Bannon for the opportunistic honeypot reception theory.
